✂️ Care
Plant in full sun or partial shade in rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil. Water regularly after planting to encourage root establishment, then maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season.
Prune in spring before new growth begins to maintain an upright shape and promote abundant flowering. Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Perfect for flower beds, flowering hedges, and contemporary gardens, it provides dramatic color, texture, and prolonged interest with minimal maintenance once established.
